West Asset Management - What do you know?

Does anyone have information about this CA?  They recently placed a collection on my Equifax (and probably the others as well) report for $226.  I have submitted a PFD request to them as well offering to pay a portion of the amount claiming owed.  Anything provided would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

I know they call my mother's house 3x a day and they never answer.

A DV should always be sent before anything else....how do you know that they have a right to collect?

Send a DV   CMRRR   do not sign it just type your name!

I had them on my report for a cell bill I did owe, except that the balance listed did not jive with what I had (off by $100 or so). I disputed via 2 of the 3 CRAs and they deleted. They then resold that amount to a second CA. That CA sent me a dunning letter and I responded with a DV. They replied back saying they couldn't verify and they would delete from their records too.

And to clarify, I'm not advocating what I did. I did this before I knew about a DV.
